Pavel Bělobrádek returned as Christian Democrat leader

Leader of the smallest government coalition party, the Christian Democrats
(KDU-ČSL), Pavel Bělobrádek was returned unopposed to the top post at
the party’s conference in Zlín on Saturday. Bělobrádek received 251
out of a possible 275 votes. Minister of Agriculture, Marián Jureča, was
returned as first deputy chairman. Bělobrádek said the party had
succeeded in making a comeback without abandoning its traditional values.
He set the next goal as defeating Communist-Social Democrat administrations
in power in many regions.
